RUTHLESS SPECTATOR

“IN NEGOTIUM NEGOTIUM SIMIA”

In the Monkey Business Business for Over 3.2 Million Years

This is what we are all about: Ruthless Spectator is a Comedy Entertainment Media website devoted to, well, all things comedy. We are your One-Stop Shop for all your comedic needs. We are certified 100% Cute Cat Video Free.* We operate on the principle that evolution wasn’t our idea, but any theory that has Donald Trump and Bubbles the Chimp swimming in the same gene pool proves that God has a sense of humor.

We are (in no particular order): ANDREW SMITH, former head writer of Saturday Night Live and the creator of Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher; GARY GRANT, Talent Consultant and Representative; and JOE GUGLIOTTI, Managing Member of WORX, one of the top branding and digital marketing agencies in the country.

Our goal is to create a site where the comedic content would be more than just 15 second videos of people getting hit in the nuts with a golf club (although, you have to admit, that’s always funny). To help us to achieve this goal, we have enlisted the aid of some of the most well-known and respected comedy writers, comedians, actors and graphic artists in the business. Among them: Comedian, film, television, and Broadway actor ROB BARTLETT; actress and writer MEGAN SIMARD; actress and writer MICHELLE GOTAY; actress MANDY LEIGH THOMPSON; and Broadway stage actress CINDY MARCHIONDA. Our continuously growing list of cast members and contributors precludes us from naming them all here, but rest assured, they are not just expendable appendages.

With all of these participants helping to create comedy content in one form or another, we have been able to turn our dream of a new, more judgmental and cynical world, into the boldly colored, kinetic, shiny new website you now see before you.

* Seriously, folks: CERTIFIED COMPLETELY 100% CUTE CAT VIDEO FREE!

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Ruthless Spectator takes an unflinching, satirical look at pop culture. It features long and short form video, recurring webisodes, sketches, parodies, graphics and text. It's the brainchild of some of the most renowned comic minds from the world of television, radio and stand up who have combined forces to create a shrine to cynicism.

The Ruthless crew doesn't care about politics, social issues, or meaningful moments. Quick Translation: You won't find any kiss-ass, self-serving star worship here. Ruthless will entertain and turn a jaundiced eye on what passes for art, music, celebrity, and that revolting Elephant Man in the room known as The Media. Ruthless Spectator is the go-to destination for cutting-edge humor, envelope-pushing laughs.
